Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Four people are left in American Idol. And frankly, I thought last night was kind of funny. It was more interesting than previous week for a couple of reasons. First of all they had more song choices rather than being stuck in a limited genre that doesn’t fit them. Then of course we had Jason […]
